What Can I do? It's too much for me to deal with!?

I am moving from one trailer in a trailer park to another. BUT I can't do it! I have so much stuff! My car is broke down. My friends are too busy to help. I look around at what I have to do and I CAN'T DO IT! It's been 2 months! I am being threatened with double rent. Nothing anyone says can get me to do anything. I look around, don't know where to start, and just go to my computer, or take a nap.

What do I do? And why am I being like this?

You are stressed out and overwhelmed. You have to take it one thing at a time. And do it in a non-stressful way. Get 3 plastic bins or cardboard boxes. Sit and watch your favorite TV show. During the commercial pick up one item. Make a decision to keep it (box 1), store it (box 2) or donate it (box 3). Box 2 also takes the things you just can't decide about right now. So you may end up with more Box 2's than 1 and 3. But that's okay, because that way you're avoiding panic and inertia. When your show comes back on, sit down and relax and watch it. Next commercial, next item. If your show has four commercials, by the end of the show you will have coped with four items! Do this in each room. In the kitchen, do the item at a time while waiting for the microwave to buzz or the pasta to boil. If you read in the bedroom, do the one item at a time after each chapter. You are doing a "task then relax" cycle. The relaxation period makes it so you can cope with the next task period. Focus on just the one item, put on mental blinders about the rest, and you'll see, you'll get packed up and moved into your new trailer. P.S. Don't expect your friends to help you while you're doing the packing. But once they see that you are doing it, don't be surprised if you receive offers to help you move your boxes.
